Yeah, I had a look at your SLKBUILD. There's some sed stuff in there I didnt understand that looks specific to esr. I also suspected as much about the upgrade. For less experienced users, though, even following those instructions step by step might be a challenge. I myself usually just do a fresh install, just because it's less hassle; it also has the fringe benefit of forcing me to do a spring clean.

But, that will not give you a newer firefox as orhers have pointed out. However it should be quite easy to make your own firefox 28 package if you want to. It really should not be any harder than taking the SLKBUILD file and changing version numbers...
I've never managed to install a SLKBUILD package so that's way above my head.

According to Hulu's support page http://www.hulu.com/support/article/166380 my system "should" work:
Adobe Flash Player 10.1 (.53.64) or above
Firefox 24

Has anyone here gotten Hulu to play a video using FF 24.4 and Flash 11.2.202.359-x86_64-1gv? If so, then the problem is in my system somewhere.

Well I don't use Hulu, but it seems to work here with FF 24.4.0 and flash-plugin-11.2.202.350

Like laprjns, I don't use hulu, so I couldn't actually login to view entire programs/movies, but everything I looked at/previewed on their site was viewable with FF 24.4 and Flash 11.2.202.350 (the standard Salix 14.1 FF and Flash versions. I'm assuming that Salix 13.37 has the same versions, being mainly security updates).

It looks like you <should> be able to use Hulu with Salix 13.37 after all, and definitely with Salix 14.1 (at least laprjns and I could). Seeing as you said you couldn't, I'd take a close look at my system (maybe javascript or something else turned off in FF?).

I give up. I've turned off all add-ons, even the ones that don't affect flash. Allowed pop-ups and javascript. Cleared cache, reset my modem, even shut down, waited awhile and restarted the computer. I keep getting the same error with Firefox Midori and Opera.

Thanks everyone for your time.

For those on 14.0 (I just install the 14.0 KDE release myself), here's a link, I suspect, to the 14.0 to 14.1 wiki page referred to on this thread.

I'm a novice to such linux kungfu as well, but perhaps sbopkg may be worth looking into. It is my impression many who use slackbuild scripts use sbopkg to simply and better maintain the process.
